The CA18DE does have an oil cooler, but I don't know if nissan sells the seal or the whole unit. I repaired one before using a seal from NAPA, but it was on my mother's camry! Man, that engine you have is the pits! It has put you through h8ll and high-water and I hope someday that you can at least enjoy this thing.
